Heimtextilien - die dritte Haut des Menschen

„Textilien im Raum werden in Anlehnung an die Idee von Bekleidung als zweiter Haut des Menschen weiter gedacht als 'dritte Haut'. Die Auswahl von Heim- und Wohntextilien ist Spiegel der eigenen Identität und Stimmung. Durch ihre unterschiedlichsten Anmutungen und Eigenschaften bieten textile Materialien ein optimales Gestaltungspotential für funktionale, nachhaltige Interior Spaces. Dieses im Hinblick auf die Designtrends 2019/20 zu entdecken und zu diskutieren wird das Ziel unserer Tour sein.“

CV Oliver Heß

Never stop learning – Oliver Heß absolvierte Ende der 1990er-Jahre sein Studium der Textiltechnick (Dipl. Ing. FH) mit dem Schwerpunkt Textilgestaltung an der Hochschule Niederrhein in Mönchengladbach. Er arbeitete zunächst als Textildesigner für einen deutschen Bettwäscheanbieter in Süddeutschland, um dann zu einem internationalen Modekonzern im Raum Düsseldorf zu wechseln, bei dem er 18 Jahre in verschiedenen Positionen tätig war. Sein Antrieb ist stets der Anspruch an bestmögliche Qualität, denn 'no detail is small'. Nach 20 Jahren kehrte er 2017 an seine Hochschule zurück. Dort ist er als Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Forschungsinstitut für Textil und Bekleidung (FTB) tätig. In diesem Zusammenhang begann er sein Masterstudium Textile Produkte mit dem Schwerpunkt Design.

„Join me for a trend hunting experience: together we will search for new materials that are interesting for architects. All the important topics around fabrics will be discussed - for example flame retardancy, sustainability and all kinds of added values of fabrics. My Heimtextil 2019 tour will be a cross-section in between fabrics for upholstery, acoustics and decoration, wallpapers and sun protection - always searching for the latest trends.“ Jana Vonofakos

Textiles in the creation of space

„Like Gottfried Semper, who maintained that textiles are the primary motivation for architectural embellishment, we architects see the appearance and feel of the entire space; the interplay of light, colour and textures. An important role as a “garment” is assigned to textiles in all their gradations. They clothe, line and wrap the space.“ Klaus de Winder

Involvement in the founding of the Potsdam University architectureprojects such as the Munster Technology Centre with Bolles + Wilson and the multiple award-winning Photonics Centre with sauerbruch hutton architects.

Classic Patterns and Future Materials

„In the tour "classic patterns and future materials" we deal with the classical technique of patterning as well as with the possibilities of future materials.
The focus is on the one hand on the classic textile finishing technique of patterning and its variety, its effect and significance. Which motifs and colours, which scaling and contrasts are particularly striking and in which techniques (such as weave or print patterns) are these produced today?
On the other hand, we look at what possibilities, additional qualities and unknown properties new and "active" materials offer. Which future fields of application, forms and figures of interaction can emerge from these materials?“ Veronika Aumann

CV Veronika Aumann

Veronika Aumann is a textile designer and researcher based in Berlin. Following on from her work with responsive textiles and shape-changing materials, among others in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institutes IZM and IWU and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, she is currently working on the practice-based research project 'Digital Materials' as part of the DiGiTaL excellence program. The project explores possibilities to make digital processes directly operative and tangible in physical materials and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Jörg Petruschat at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin. Together with Nina Sophie Gekeler she forms the design duo “Pattern Studio”, creating unique patterns for textiles, objects and interior.

Weshalb wir Stoffe brauchen

„In unsicheren Zeiten wächst das Bedürfnis nach Beständigkeit und Ehrlichkeit. Der Rückzug ins Private nimmt weiter zu. Räume und Stoffe bieten uns einen sicheren Kokon und das Gegengewicht zu einer zunehmend technologischen und damit nicht greifbaren Welt. Kein anderes Material löst solche haptischen Sinneserfahrungen aus wie anschmiegsame Textilien. Weshalb wir Stoffe brauchen, um uns der Realität zu vergewissern.“ Martina Metzner

CV Martina Metzner

Martina Metzner ist nach Stationen bei der TextilWirtschaft und Stylepark als freie Design-Journalistin aktiv. Mit Beiträgen für Interior Fashion, German Architects und als neuer Kopf hinter dem materialREPORT analysiert sie das Geschehen auf dem internationalen Designparkett und hat durch ihre interdisziplinäre Perspektive immer den Blick fürs Ganze.
